Techstep has today signed a strategic partner agreement with Consafe Logistics
to assume control over their hardware division specialised in rugged devices.
The collaboration allows Techstep to broaden its mobile devices solutions and
services, while extending its reach into new and existing markets.
Consafe Logistics is a leading supply chain technology company, designing
warehouse management system and warehouse control system (WMS & WCS) to more
than 250 customers across various industries. Headquartered in Sweden, the
company has a footprint in more than 30 countries, including Scandinavia,
Poland, and the Benelux region. Consafe Logistics has decided to wind-down its
hardware sales business, including related support services, to focus solely on
supply chain software design.
Under the agreement, Techstep assumes responsibility for servicing approximately
130 existing customers and facilitating new device sales previously managed by
Consafe Logistics. This includes 10,000 active devices and service agreements
for ~2,200 devices. The hardware and services business represents an average
yearly revenue of SEK 45-55 million the last three years, with a potential to
deliver more capabilities and services from the Techstep portfolio. The
transition of services and customers to Techstep is free of charge, while
Consafe Logistics retains the right to a commission from hardware sales for a
limited time.
"Partnering with Techstep allows us to extend our commitment to innovation and
customer experience by offering a broader range of hardware solutions backed by
Techstep's expertise. This strategic move underscores our commitment to meeting
our customers' evolving needs with smart, sustainable logistics solutions" says
Patrik Olsson, COO of Consafe Logistics.
"This partnership fortifies Techstep's already strong position within rugged and
production critical mobility. We look forward to leveraging our expertise in
managed mobility for frontline workers to cater Consafe Logistics' customers,
addressing their requirements for reliable mobile devices and accessories", says
Morten Meier, CEO of Techstep.
The transition of services and customers from Consafe Logistics to Techstep will
be effective from 1 May 2024.
